Between the Sun and Moon

There is a lake between the sun and moon
Not too many know about
In the silence between whisper and shout
The space between wonder and doubt

These words are inscribed on the arch to a set of ruins Charlotte Branson finds when wandering through the woods one day. The only two structures left intact are the arch and a pentagram past it. The pentagram has symbols all around it, but they are in a language she can't read. Charlotte notices that she can see the pentagram when she is looking through the arch, but not when she isn't. Frightened, she goes back to the city and tells her father, who is the mayor, about the arch. She withholds its location from her father, who she knows will prohibit her from helping investigate it if she doesn't have a bargaining chip.

Her father organizes a group of people to investigate the ruins, and reluctantly lets her come along as a guide. When they get to the ruins, there is a debate: the arch is obviously unusual in some way. Does the party go through it? Or do they stay in town and investigate further?

Characters necessary:
Charlotte
A paranormal expert
A scientist
A couple others (whatever people want to play)

Name: Masa SakamotoAge: 17
Appearance:
Personality: Loyal and Honest. Masa is the type to stick up for her friends and loved ones without backing down. She'll speak her mind and won't care about the consequences that could follow. She doesn't care at all if someone mistakes her to be a boy, which happens all the time. Even her teachers would think she is a boy.
History: Masa's father has always wanted a boy, but was disappointed that his first child turned out to be a girl. He became determined to make her be the boy he always wanted. He convinced his wife to name her Masa, and raised her to be a great fighter in their family owned dojo. She thinks of training as a chore around the house, so she isn't spirited about it.Supernatural powers the character would have: A sword called the Black Dragon. It gives Masa the power to either protect or destroy.

Masa is also a descendent of a mortal samurai that was said to defeat a demon and claim the katana, The Black Dragon, for his own. Only a select few of this samurai's descendents may wield the mighty weapon. She is the only member of her family that can use The Black Dragon.

Legend tells of mysterious deaths linked to the demonic blade. It is as if the katana has a mind of its own, and attacks those who are not worthy to hold it. Masa's father has come into possession of this dangerous weapon, taking extreme caution in moving the blade. He was in fact injured by the blade in an accident, and his wife saved him. That was when she was pregnant with Masa. Ever since she gave birth to her little girl, she can no longer touch the katana. She was injured as well one day when she tried to move it.

The sword seems to protect Masa rather than try to harm her. Her father noticed this and was overjoyed that he was the father of the child that could wield The Black Dragon without being hurt by it. He was also proud that she looks more like a boy than a girl.

Supernatural powers the character would have:(N/A for now)

Do you mind if we keep the bit about th katana out for now? I don't want the world to have any supernatural elements at first. Maybe it can be a legend of her familys and the sword can be related to the supernatural powers she gets?

My Usual Online Time:

Afternoons, evenings and nights.

Writing Levels:

Intermediate, Adept, Advanced, Adaptable

Genders You Prefer Playing:

Male, Female

Playing Style- Passive or Aggressive:

Both. I usually start off a bit more passive while getting used to the world and my character(s), but once I feel like I know my character(s) well I usually feel very comfortable with becoming more aggressive.

I like it if both parties can do things for the plot and create new characters, both villains and heroes. If you are completely passive, we might not fit each other.

Favorite Genres:

Historical, fantasy, magic, horror, supernatural, survival, vampires, demons, pirates, mutants, ghosts, romance (FxF, MxM, MxF) (Romance should be part of the plot and not the whole plot in itself), etc.

Genre You DON'T Like:

Scifi. Mecha. Combat. Overly action oriented stuff. Overly ecchi or sexual (Characters can have sex, but fade to black is a must.). Slice of life (I need something to spice up the rp, like supernatural stuff or a fantasy/historical setting. Otherwise it gets boring real quickly.)

Paranormal expert is sooooo meeeeee xD hahaha
Will start working on my character ;)
